Welcome back to another episode of the Mythic Draft podcast. I'm Chris.
00:00:13
subartic
And I'm at half frozen run.
00:00:16
Chris
Yeah, it is chilly.
00:00:19
subartic
It was 10 degrees when I went to the gym this morning. And as soon as I turned the corner, just 50 mile an hour winds up my face.
00:00:28
Chris
Oh.
00:00:30
subartic
Brutal.
00:00:31
Chris
Yeah, yeah, it was 14 when I went to work.
00:00:35
subartic
Yeah. That's, we've reached the level of cold where it's like, don't go outside people.
00:00:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:00:43
subartic
We're not prepared
00:00:43
Chris
I had a meeting downtown and I walked, you know, down the plaza to the government office building and my face hurt by the end of the walk.
00:00:53
subartic
Yeah.
00:00:53
Chris
So.
00:00:53
subartic
It's brutal.
00:00:54
Chris
Yeah. Penguins. Oh, no, you do it.
00:00:58
subartic
Well, they're built for it.
00:01:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:01:01
subartic
This big round belly's a blubber.
00:01:03
Chris
Yeah.
Weather Stories and Impacts
00:01:05
subartic
You're not.
00:01:08
subartic
Everything's frozen up here.
00:01:10
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:01:10
subartic
It's great.
00:01:11
Chris
Well, I can't believe that we got a half inch of snow last night and they canceled school today.
00:01:17
subartic
You got snow last night?
00:01:18
Chris
Yes.
00:01:18
subartic
No, we didn't.
00:01:20
Chris
Yeah, we got a half inch of snow.
00:01:22
subartic
Huh.
00:01:23
Chris
And I was behind this person last night who was driving 15 miles an hour and the snow was literally being blown off of the roadway. I was like, there's no snow on the road.
00:01:37
Chris
Go.
00:01:42
subartic
we We got snow. ah sunday
00:01:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:01:48
subartic
Sunday when like Gettysburg and Western Maryland all got hit pretty hard, but we only got like an inch But now it's all just frozen everywhere Yeah, I think it's supposed to hit 37 tomorrow so
00:01:54
Chris
so Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yep. And then all the fire departments will be busy now, like Sunday and into Monday when everything starts to thaw out and all the frozen pipes start to leak. Hmm.
Geographical Names and Terms
00:02:15
subartic
fun times for the fire department.
00:02:17
Chris
Wait, it's not supposed to be 37 down here tomorrow.
00:02:20
subartic
Oh, maybe over here.
00:02:22
Chris
Oh.
00:02:24
subartic
It's crazy how wildly different ah the the weather is between my house and yours.
00:02:29
Chris
Well, it's because you're so much further north, so the polar vortex.
00:02:34
subartic
It's not that.
00:02:34
Chris
And when you pass the, you know. 12th latitude and.
00:02:41
subartic
No, it's the bay.
00:02:43
Chris
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
00:02:44
subartic
totally the bay because I'm at the head of the bay and everything the bay just it's a whole different weather thing it's cool because we're what about a hundred miles apart from each other yeah there's the elk neck is probably 10 miles from me
00:02:56
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you've and you're kind of bookended by Bayes, so. Yeah.
00:03:14
subartic
And then I could be at the Delaware Bay, and don't really know where the bay starts and the river begins.
00:03:21
Chris
yeah
00:03:22
subartic
So somewhere in there.
00:03:23
Chris
So. but Why is it all across the eastern shore? Places are neck elk neck, you know, hog neck, beaver neck.
00:03:30
subartic
Hmm.
00:03:33
Chris
It's like, what why? Why the neck?
00:03:36
subartic
Doesn't a neck refer to a narrow strip of land that's, you know, kind of like an isthmus or a peninsula?
00:03:41
Chris
Does it?
00:03:43
subartic
I think so.
00:03:44
Chris
It's just weird.
00:03:45
subartic
It is weird. Or Kits Hummock.
00:03:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:50
Chris
I'm sorry, what?
00:03:50
subartic
just like Kits Hummock.
00:03:52
Chris
Kaitomik.
00:03:54
subartic
Kits Hummock. Hummock.
00:03:57
Chris
yeah um like Okay.
00:03:57
subartic
H-U-M-M-O-C-K. Hummock. It's a, I guess it's an old timey word for hill.
00:04:04
Chris
Okay.
00:04:05
subartic
There's like one random hill in the marsh of like a Dover area called Kits Hummock.
00:04:08
Chris
Okay.
00:04:11
Chris
and
00:04:12
subartic
Yeah. But you have a budget necks, we only have one.
00:04:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:21
Chris
Peggy neck.
00:04:24
subartic
What, in their neck district?
00:04:26
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah, down near a long neck.
00:04:27
subartic
Yeah.
00:04:30
Chris
Don't get that confused with short neck.
00:04:34
Chris
Hell, I.
00:04:37
subartic
I always find naming of places interesting. Why are they called?
00:04:44
Chris
Yeah, a neck is an airstrip of land that resembles the neck of an animal. It can refer to a peninsula, an upland between river meanders or a remnant of a volcano.
00:04:54
subartic
ah
00:04:54
Chris
Well, that's a hell of a stretch.
00:04:56
subartic
yeah
00:04:59
Chris
Yeah, don't get that mixed up. Yeah, we're going to the neck. Oh, that little stripper. It's a volcano.
00:05:10
subartic
A neck refers to the shape of the peninsula. So it is still a peninsula. It's just that it's about the shape of it.
00:05:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:17
subartic
hu It's a fun fact.
00:05:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:24
Chris
What's it? yeah What's the difference between a plateau and a mesa?
00:05:29
subartic
Oh, our mix is higher.
00:05:33
Chris
no
00:05:36
subartic
I thought you did the answer.
00:05:37
Chris
No! No, I was just throwing that out there.
00:05:39
subartic
Oh.
00:05:42
subartic
Well, a plateau you tap, er.
00:05:42
Chris
it's like And when does a hill become a mountain?
00:05:49
subartic
Mmm.
00:05:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:52
subartic
ah
00:05:55
subartic
A Mesa is an isolated, broad, isolated, broad, flat top mountain with at least one steep side. It's formed by erosion, whereas a plateau is an extensive raised flat surface area.
00:06:10
Chris
OK.
00:06:12
subartic
And then there's a Butte, as in, ain't that a Butte?
00:06:14
Chris
Oh, she's a beaut, Clark.
00:06:20
subartic
Hmm.
00:06:21
Chris
yeah
00:06:24
subartic
So maces are eroded and they have cliffs on all sides and a butte is, uh, just smaller.
00:06:27
Chris
Hmm. What's it? Hmm. That's the difference between a stream and a creek.
00:06:41
subartic
Yeah. See, that's a regional thing, I think, because to me, a stream is a crick.
00:06:43
Chris
or crick.
00:06:50
subartic
But a creek is something that's like a stream. You can step over a creek. You have to walk through.
00:06:55
Chris
See, I would think it would be the exact opposite.
00:06:59
subartic
See, like.
00:07:03
subartic
Valley stream by me, you can step across, but White Clay Creek ah is, I don't know, 50 feet wide some places.
00:07:11
Chris
Hmm.
00:07:13
subartic
So to me, a creek and a stream are the same, but a creek is different.
00:07:20
Chris
Gotcha.
00:07:21
subartic
That's to me, I don't know what new.
00:07:23
Chris
I got.
00:07:25
Chris
I don't know, I think they just make things up as they go and.
00:07:29
subartic
Sure.
00:07:36
Chris
What a stream is a body of water that flows in a channel between banks, while a creek is a small stream of water.
00:07:43
subartic
What?
00:07:55
Chris
Yeah, I guess it's just this. Yeah, they're talking about size. A creek turns into a stream which turns into a river.
00:08:03
subartic
I got that backwards, because to me, it's bigger and smaller.
00:08:05
Chris
I don't know.
00:08:10
Chris
What's the difference between a creek and a ditch? A ditch doesn't have water. Ditches do have water.
00:08:17
subartic
That's fair.
00:08:19
Chris
And there are perennial, intermittent and ephemeral streams.
00:08:23
subartic
What about a brook?
00:08:25
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:08:28
subartic
A babbling brook.
00:08:28
Chris
ah
00:08:32
Chris
According to the definition, it's a catchment area from 10 square kilometers to 100 square kilometers, but smaller bodies of water were constant water flow and where fish occur.
00:08:43
subartic
That's a brook.
00:08:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:47
Chris
Swiftly flowing in rugged terrain of lesser length and volume than a creek. Oh, my gosh.
00:08:53
subartic
ah
00:08:53
Chris
I'm just, yeah. No.
00:08:57
subartic
But I still don't understand, like, the stream versus creek thing.
00:08:59
Chris
Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. At what point do you cut it off?
00:09:04
subartic
Right. Right.
00:09:08
subartic
Like if we're saying a stream is a smaller version of a river, what the hell is the difference between a creek and a stream then?
00:09:15
Chris
Yeah. I don't know.
00:09:21
Chris
Somebody out there should figure this out and report back.
00:09:24
subartic
Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:25
Chris
Yeah, ah Justin.
00:09:30
Chris
and Somebody out there right now going, Holy crap. ah Yeah.
00:09:35
subartic
You gotta work on this.
00:09:39
subartic
You think it's a like a turbulence thing? Like a speed?
00:09:42
Chris
Maybe. Yeah, I don't I don't know. Yes, I mean, some rivers move really fast, but
00:09:54
subartic
Yeah, yeah. We all started this on the talk about
Video Game Sequel Challenges
00:10:02
subartic
necks.
00:10:03
Chris
Yep, go from next to Rivers. Oh, yeah.
00:10:08
subartic
Guess I always assume they're next to be very narrow.
00:10:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:12
subartic
Yeah.
00:10:15
subartic
Yeah.
00:10:16
Chris
Yeah, but I mean, like if you go by that definition, you know, where it's a narrow strip that goes out, I mean,
00:10:17
subartic
Hmm.
00:10:24
Chris
Well, now I guess that wouldn't be because it's not what would like the Yucatan Peninsula almost be a neck.
00:10:32
subartic
I mean, it could be.
00:10:34
Chris
I guess. Or it juts out into the Gulf of America.
00:10:41
Chris
I had to as the dumbest thing. We have just entered into an area of idiocy.
00:10:49
subartic
yeah Yeah, we've released a new level of low.
00:10:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:57
subartic
I'm still self-researcing this Crick vs. Brooke thing.
00:11:03
Chris
It's going to come to you as an epiphany tomorrow.
00:11:10
Chris
Yeah, you'll be covering that engine um in Montgomery County.
00:11:13
subartic
Oh, mountains have a well-defined summit.
00:11:14
Chris
That's a creek.
00:11:19
Chris
Oh, OK. Huh.
00:11:26
Chris
Hills are just going to raised.
00:11:26
subartic
ah
00:11:30
subartic
The Geological Survey considers something a mountain if it has a higher local relief of 1,000 feet. But that definition was changed in the 70s. That doesn't tell me what it's changed to.
00:11:44
Chris
It's changed in the 70s. Yeah, it used to be 950 feet.
00:11:51
subartic
I'm gonna go with the summit thing.
00:11:52
Chris
Yeah, I think this moment makes a little bit more sense.
00:11:52
subartic
Mountains have submits.
00:11:55
subartic
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:02
subartic
See?
00:12:02
Chris
It's part of the podcast brought to you by geography.
00:12:06
subartic
Yeah, the ge geological survey. Which can't hire anybody to... That's why we can't get answers, because they can't hire anybody to take people out of their website.
00:12:17
subartic
Trying to... Trying to not let with the rage of the world get over me, overtake me.
00:12:25
Chris
Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:12:28
subartic
It's tough.
00:12:30
Chris
Yes.
00:12:32
subartic
Oh man, I had this talk today.
00:12:34
Chris
Uh oh.
00:12:34
subartic
We talked a lot about Dragon Age, the new one.
00:12:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:39
subartic
Man, that game went nowhere.
00:12:42
Chris
Right, yeah it just like came and went and.
00:12:47
subartic
And like, nobody talks about it.
00:12:49
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:52
subartic
i don't I haven't tried it yet because again the reviews weren't very good. would it What do you think they did wrong? Or what do you think they have to do to win people back?
00:13:05
Chris
Well, I think it was like we talked about that one time where it seemed like it was such a drastic difference from the first game. And the last two were already in there like, oh, we're getting back to Dragon Age.
00:13:18
Chris
we're Like, OK, cool, cool. And then we saw like some trailers and some gameplay and we're like, this is not like the original. So what is this? And yeah.
00:13:26
subartic
Yeah Do you think it's maybe reached a point where sequels just can't survive any longer I feel like call of duty breaks that rule Because they're just like this is the new Update of the thing that everybody likes it seems like that's what they do Right Because everybody likes the
00:13:36
Chris
Yeah. What? Right, yeah. Yeah, because it's more just update stuff than anything.
00:13:54
subartic
Was the war zone now, so they do wars on h1 the other like zombies It seemed to they seem to just say we're just gonna give you what you like which seems Seems pretty smart, right?
00:13:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, zombies is back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:07
Chris
I mean, zombies is a ton of fun right now. So, yeah.
00:14:09
subartic
Yeah, people seem to enjoy it let's do that Yeah
00:14:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. but And I think part of it is, I mean, the development cycle takes forever sometimes. And. ah Yeah.
00:14:26
Chris
I don't know.
00:14:28
Chris
It's it's definitely weird. And then, you know, it's. like Inevitably, though, people, you know, They'll come out with a sequel that is very similar to the first game.
00:14:39
Chris
You know, they polish them stuff, you know, expand the story or whatever. People are like, why didn't you take it in a totally new direction? It's like, well, we've tried that before and you don't buy that.
00:14:48
subartic
Right.
00:14:48
Chris
So what you you you can't have it both ways.
00:14:48
subartic
You know, but it's, it's true.
00:14:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:14:57
subartic
Sadly is that they can't win.
00:15:01
Chris
No, we no, it's.
00:15:02
subartic
You know, that's almost part of the problem though, is that they've won once.
00:15:04
Chris
yeah
00:15:09
subartic
It's like the gambler's policy, right?
00:15:09
Chris
Right.
00:15:10
subartic
Like we did Dragon Age and it was great. People loved it. And then they keep chasing that and it never works the same.
00:15:16
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:18
subartic
You know, it's like Halo.
00:15:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:20
subartic
I love the Halo universe. There are what? Seven Halo games out there and only three are any good.
00:15:26
Chris
Yeah, I was gonna.
00:15:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:30
subartic
You know.
00:15:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:32
subartic
And they just always they're trying to chase that.
00:15:36
Chris
Right.
00:15:36
subartic
Over and over and over again, it's not going to work.
00:15:38
Chris
Yeah. Well, it's like the reiteration of Mario, every console generation and things like that. I mean, it's. It's definitely hit and miss with those, too.
00:15:51
subartic
Oh, I couldn't tell you how many Marios there have been now. you couldn't I could even guess, you know, 30?
00:15:54
Chris
Oh, yeah. ah ah Probably.
00:15:58
subartic
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's got to be up there.
00:16:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:16:04
subartic
And I would say two of them are any good.
00:16:08
Chris
Yeah, once I heard this very similar argument the other day, because, that you know, Nintendo announced the switch to or yeah, I think it's called switch to. And they were like, yeah. And, you know, one of the you could see gameplay of, you know, Mario Kart nine. And they were talking to like, oh, you know, what do they need to do in the set? And the one guy was like, they just need to update Mario Kart eight, you know, make it a fun Mario Kart game.
00:16:33
subartic
right
00:16:33
Chris
And the other guy was like, no, no, no, they need to do this and that. And they're like, no, just give us what we, you know, we everybody loves Mario Kart eight.
00:16:39
subartic
Right.
00:16:40
Chris
Just, you know, make it better. Add a couple of things. It's like, well, then just add an update to it. It's like, well, Nintendo can't do that with some of their hardware. So, yeah.
00:16:50
subartic
Right.
00:16:51
Chris
But yeah, just give the people what they want. It doesn't have to be totally, you know, changing each time.
00:16:58
subartic
I'm supposed to give him
00:16:59
Chris
You know, I'm sure there's There's somebody like with some gimmick that's like, Oh, well this time you have to have, you know, you can pick who your pit crew is and so and so we'll put the lug nuts on faster. so There'll be like 5% of gamers that are like, Oh, this is awesome.
00:17:12
Chris
And then everybody else like, okay.
00:17:13
subartic
right right if you're playing mario kart you want to play mario kart right you want to play a mario kart type game give me mario kart yeah i make it nice put new characters in there fine but i don't want it to be the new reimagining of mario kart with a single player campaign right
00:17:19
Chris
Right. Yeah.
00:17:27
Chris
yeah
00:17:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:37
Chris
yeah
00:17:38
subartic
but remember I mean Call of Duty 4 or Modern Warfare 2 or whatever that number. ah Everybody was like, we don't care about the single player. We just want to play multiplayer.
00:17:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:47
subartic
Stop giving a single player.
00:17:49
Chris
Right.
00:17:49
subartic
They never did, but yeah that's all anybody cared about.
00:17:50
Chris
Yeah. Well, there was that. Yeah, what was that one that like the campaign was like two and a half hours or something?
00:17:58
subartic
Yeah, nobody liked it. Nobody played it.
00:17:59
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:01
subartic
Because you weren't playing Call of Duty for that. That wasn't why you you got that game.
00:18:03
Chris
Right.
00:18:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:09
subartic
That's my problem with Dragon Age Inquisition was the whole time. I was like this isn't a Dragon Age to me, So frustrating So frustrating The healing in that game but That time you play a game that
00:18:16
Chris
Right. But Ron, healers shouldn't be able to heal. They should only be able to make potions. God, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:40
subartic
doesn't understand healing like if you're playing a game where you're like I have to freaking scrap and scrape for healing it's just not a fun experience and about
00:18:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:47
Chris
Right. Everybody knows in when you're playing a game and you find a healing potion or anything like that, you hoard them like a dragon and you never use them. And then you get to the very end of the game and you realize that you have, you know, 100 healing potions and 10 strength potions or whatever your inventory that you never used.
00:19:11
subartic
And you know what game's fault that is?
00:19:14
Chris
Zelda.
00:19:15
subartic
Resident Evil.
00:19:16
Chris
Oh, God, yes.
00:19:17
subartic
You had to keep those stupid herbs in your pocket all the time.
00:19:21
Chris
Yes, you're like, oh, my God, I have found five red herbs.
00:19:22
subartic
And they were so...
00:19:25
Chris
This does mean nothing.
00:19:25
subartic
Yep. Yep.
00:19:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:28
subartic
Yeah.
00:19:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:30
subartic
Stupid Resident Evil has ruined generations.
00:19:32
Chris
Yeah, that's true.
00:19:34
subartic
Yep.
00:19:35
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, it's like I could use it, but I only took one hit and if I use it, it'll be a waste. Well, now I'm down three hits, and if I use it, it's not going to do anything.
00:19:47
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:49
subartic
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:19:50
Chris
Damn you, Resident Evil.
00:19:52
subartic
Damn you, Resident Evil.
00:19:54
Chris
Yeah, that'd be Capcom. Yeah, Capcom. Way to go, Capcom.
00:19:57
subartic
And that was back when Capcom was, like, banging out the hits.
00:19:59
Chris
Bunch of jerks.
00:20:04
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:20:08
subartic
Resident Evil Marvel versus Capcom Was Mega Man Capcom originally?
00:20:11
Chris
Yeah, Street Fighter.
00:20:15
Chris
Yeah, I think so.
00:20:16
subartic
Yeah, I think so too Oh
00:20:18
Chris
Yeah. God, the old Mega Man games were so much fun.
00:20:21
subartic
man Mega Man it was awesome Like the Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 2 probably two of the best games of their was so simple
00:20:24
Chris
and Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:20:37
subartic
You just jump, kill a boss, take his weapon.
00:20:40
Chris
Yep. And then, oh, look, this weapon was probably good against this guy.
00:20:46
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's an ice guy. I just beat a fire guy. I should probably go after the ice guy next.
00:20:53
subartic
yeah so is
00:20:54
Chris
Yeah. Oh.
00:20:59
subartic
Any other games on your radar right now?
00:20:59
Chris
Yeah, I wasn't talking and diving and sliding. It was just like you said, jump, shoot, jump, shoot.
00:21:03
subartic
Oh yeah, the diving. Yeah, jump and shoot, that's all. I think in Mega Man 2 you could have double jump.
00:21:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:12
Chris
yeah Maybe.
00:21:13
subartic
Maybe.
00:21:14
Chris
Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I don't I don't know game wise on my radar.
00:21:22
Chris
I don't know.
00:21:24
subartic
Yeah, I haven't... I haven't really seen anything that's jumped out at me.
00:21:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:33
subartic
ah
00:21:34
Chris
I mean, I know I'll play it the ghost of Yotai, the ghost of Tsushima sequel. I'm sure that would be great, but It's not like I'm like clamoring for anything.
00:21:45
subartic
Yeah, I'm not playing that.
00:21:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:48
subartic
What does that happen?
00:21:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:50
subartic
I don't know how you beat yourself that much.
00:21:50
Chris
I mean.
00:21:56
Chris
ah Yeah, yeah, there's no real I mean, there are a couple of souls like games coming out, I'm sure I'll try. Because I have a hate for myself and yeah.
00:22:07

00:22:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:12
subartic
I've been...
00:22:12
Chris
But.
00:22:13
subartic
putzing around with games, that's about it, I can't say I've...
00:22:16
Chris
Yeah, yeah, i I still, you know, I log in to Call of Duty every now and again, shoot some people in the face. I've been going back to a couple of games and just, you know, working on some trophies and just yeah mindlessly running around hacking and slashing.
00:22:35
subartic
I'm gonna say something that's gonna make me funny to you.
00:22:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:39
subartic
I meant to play games with my brother today, and the game we were gonna play had an update. It took us two hours to update this game. And then at the end of it, it crashed the game.
00:22:47
Chris
What?
00:22:50
Chris
Really?
00:22:51
subartic
So I had to uninstall the game. Yeah.
00:22:54
Chris
Why didn't it take two hours?
00:22:56
subartic
I don't know, it was something's... something's futzed up with the game.
00:23:01
Chris
Oh, it was probably interacting. It was probably the Excel PDF interaction.
00:23:05
subartic
Yeah, it was definitely the x Excel spreadsheet, yeah.
00:23:07
Chris
but Yeah.
00:23:09

00:23:41
Chris
Yeah, that should be neat.
00:23:42
subartic
Yeah, that could be...
00:23:43
Chris
That's like medieval doom, right?
00:23:44
subartic
Man, that could be good.
00:23:46
Chris

Chris
Now, do you have a Steam Deck or just your computer?
00:25:11

00:26:23
subartic
Yeah.
00:26:24
Chris
Hmm. Yeah. I'm hoping that the Indiana Jones game will come to PlayStation this year so I could try that.
00:26:33
subartic
Oh yeah.
00:26:34
Chris
But. Yeah, I'm sure there's probably unannounced games, they'll just pop up.
00:26:40
subartic
Well yeah.
00:26:41
Chris
So. Yeah.
Cold Remedies and Home Solutions
00:26:46

Sure.
00:26:52
Chris
All right.
00:26:54
subartic
Uh, topic one. Um, if you can't tell I'm a little stuffed up in the old face and it drives me nuts that.
00:27:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:06
subartic
Look, I understand we can cure cancer. We're working on it.
00:27:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:11
subartic
And that's bad cancer, but we can't come up with a single. really useful over-the-counter drug for the common cold or sniffles.
00:27:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:21
subartic
Nothing works. Nothing.
00:27:25
subartic
Not one product would I be like, yeah, that's what I take every time.
00:27:32
Chris
Yeah, I usually roll the dice. I'm like, maybe this time I'll try this.
00:27:36
subartic
Yeah. And it never, I mean. You can take the equal, so now you're just stuffed up and you feel like your brain's not working, right?
00:27:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:45
Chris
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's like, oh, you know, now I'm stuffy and on meth.
00:27:45
subartic
so Yeah.
00:27:52
subartic
Zycam has got to be a scam, right? and That doesn't do anything.
00:27:54
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:56
subartic
um
00:27:56
Chris
Remember the originals ICAM that it was those swabs
00:28:00
subartic
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:01
Chris
They had to jam up into your brain.
00:28:03
subartic
ah Yeah.
00:28:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:07
subartic
Suited is actually meth, so you can't get that.
00:28:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:11
subartic
a
00:28:12
Chris
New syntax dries everything, but your sinuses out.
00:28:15
subartic
Right yeah, that's useful Yeah, nothing feels good better when your sinuses are clogged up like oh my mouth is dry ah Cough drops are just candy um as I put a cough right in my mouth right now, but I
00:28:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:24
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:35
Chris
Well, we found some that were like mucinex brand cough drops and they have like echinacea and they actually make your tongue go numb.
00:28:45
subartic
buts fun Oh, Huh.
00:28:47
Chris
Yeah, I don't I don't know if it's the echinacea or what.
00:28:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:52
subartic
Does it make you feel better?
00:28:55
Chris
ah My daughter seems to think so.
00:28:57
subartic
Oh, okay.
00:29:01
subartic
And then if you follow it, so you're, you're not supposed to feed a cold. You feel a fever. What's the rules?
00:29:08
Chris
Um. Feed a fever, starve a cold.
00:29:13
subartic
Yeah.
00:29:14
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:15
subartic
I don't think that works.
00:29:16
Chris
No.
00:29:18
subartic
Because then you're just hungry and miserable.
00:29:21
subartic
ah Drink plenty of fluids. Yeah, I do that.
00:29:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:27
subartic
I saw one the other day was take red onions and soak them in honey and then strain the onions out and drink the honey.
00:29:35
Chris
Oh.
00:29:38
Chris
I mean, that's that's that's a solution.
00:29:41
subartic
It's the technical definition of a solution. Yes.
00:29:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:50
subartic
um Remember the old school fishermen, friends, cough drops.
00:29:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:57
subartic
the We used to challenge each other in school to see how long you keep them in your mouth. They were so disgusting.
00:30:02
Chris
Oh, yeah, yeah, because it was pretty much like they cut up a sardine and shoved it in there.
00:30:08
subartic
Yeah, those probably work just because of the adrenaline dump.
00:30:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, honey for the cough.
00:30:21
subartic
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:22
Chris
around Cool moisture to the air.
00:30:29
subartic
Hmm. I find hot moisture better.
00:30:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:35
Chris
Yeah, like a nice hot shower.
00:30:37
subartic
Yeah, a nice hot shower clears you right out.
00:30:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:39
subartic
But it's only good for while you're in the hot shower.
00:30:43
Chris
Yeah, but you just have to stay in the shower.
00:30:47
subartic
I can't come to that fire call. I gotta be in the shower.
00:30:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:57
subartic
Can't do that. I don't think they approve.
00:31:01
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:31:04
subartic
It would just be nice to have something that works.
00:31:08
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's like, and there's weird things, it's like, The VIX vapor rub.
00:31:15
subartic
That just...
00:31:15
Chris
but But you're supposed to put it on your the soles of your feet.
00:31:17
subartic
What?
00:31:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:21
subartic
I thought you were supposed to put it on your chest.
00:31:23
Chris
ah I mean, that too, but yeah, my grandmother always insisted you put it on your feet and you put socks on.
00:31:29
subartic
Huh.
00:31:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:32
subartic
Why would that do anything?
00:31:33
Chris
I don't know. I I don't know.
00:31:39
subartic
Are your feet bones connected to your nose bones?
00:31:45
Chris
Yeah. Fix vapor rub on feet. There's no scientific evidence that vix vapor rub on your feet helps a cold symptoms, but it may help with other foot issues.
00:31:55
subartic
Okay.
00:31:56
Chris
ah Yeah.
00:31:57
subartic
I don't know what other foot issues you had that you were dealing with.
00:31:59
Chris
i Yeah. I don't know either. Yeah.
00:32:06
subartic
I had never heard that one.
00:32:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:09
subartic
I remember having a humidifier as a kid because my mother thought that worked.
00:32:12
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:15
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:17
subartic
I'm sure that just made my asthma worse.
00:32:21
Chris
Yeah. And we our parents probably didn't clean those humidifiers out the right way, so they were just, you know, vaporizing bacteria for us to inhale.
00:32:33
subartic
yeah Yeah.
00:32:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:36
subartic
I think we even had a humidifier that you could run vapor rub through it.
00:32:40
Chris
Yeah, we had one like that. It was like a plastic like rectangle that you filled with water and there was this brown tube that you put in the middle and like clicked in and there was a little tray on the top.
00:32:53
Chris
You could put VIX or something in.
00:32:55
subartic
Yeah.
00:32:55
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:57
Chris
So I'm sure that that was also nice and fire safe.
00:33:01
subartic
yeah oh ah are What I know the most is our parents were dumb.
00:33:07
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. yeah
00:33:12
subartic
I mean, we used to humidify the air when it was cold and in the winter by putting a pot of water on top of our kerosene heater that we left in the house.
00:33:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:24
Chris
Yep. So when you passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning, you would knock the pot over and the jolt of the scalding water would alert you.
00:33:31
subartic
yeah
00:33:34
subartic
o i was That was the blame.
00:33:37
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:33:41
subartic
I'm sure that in that instance it was like a dollar a month cheaper to heat the house with a kerosene than it was to
Cost-Saving Heating Memories
00:33:48
subartic
use the electric heaters and that's why my dad did it.
00:33:48
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:33:53
subartic
Yeah, that's the smell.
00:33:57
Chris
Yeah. um I mean, one cure is the Italian penicillin soup.
00:34:07
subartic
I'm sorry, what?
00:34:08
Chris
Yeah, Italian penicillin. um I don't want to read about how you found this while wandering the hills. um Yeah.
00:34:24
Chris
See, I just want a damn recipe, you sons of bitches. God, I hate that. When you click on a recipe, it's like, oh, I was traveling in the foothills of Rome. Yeah. Ah, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Nope, nope. You son of a bitch.
00:34:51
Chris
Jump to recipe. No, not jump to video. No, no, no, no video.
00:34:54
subartic
Oh my god.
00:34:58
Chris
Recipe. There we go.
00:35:06
subartic
all Mulleulian? I heard this. That sounds like bullshit.
00:35:12
Chris
How to make Italian soup. All right. So water, or vegetable broth. Add Where are the ingredients?
00:35:23
Chris
Garlic, onion, ginger, carrot, celery, and then pastina, which is the little tiny pastas.
00:35:33
subartic
Uh-huh.
00:35:34
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Cook it all down.
00:35:35
subartic
All right.
00:35:37
Chris
Yeah. So it's just like chicken soup without the grossness of chicken.
00:35:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:45
subartic
Oh, an onion poultice fried onions and cloth placed on a person's chest to help break through congestion.
00:35:46
Chris
No wonder it makes me feel good.
00:35:54
Chris
Hmm.
00:35:55
subartic
So I'm going to fry some onions and put them on your um my chest.
00:36:00
Chris
Are you making a cheese steak? Nope.
00:36:03
subartic
Ooh, fire cider, ferment various vegetables in apple cider vinegar.
00:36:08
Chris
Oh.
00:36:10
subartic
That sounds tasty.
00:36:11
Chris
Oh, yeah, I mean, a hot toddy always helps with the cold.
00:36:15
subartic
That was true, but I think that's just because you get drunk.
00:36:20
Chris
I mean, you got to drink a few of them to get drunk.
00:36:26
Chris
I mean, it's what, you know, hot water, whiskey, honey, and lemon.
00:36:32
subartic
I thought it was T. and then
00:36:35
Chris
I've made it both ways with T and without.
00:36:40
Chris
So.
00:36:44
subartic
Ooh, acupressure.
00:36:44
Chris
Yeah, it's where.
00:36:46
subartic
A sinus massage.
00:36:48
Chris
Oh.
00:36:49
subartic
I'm sure that works.
00:36:51
Chris
Yeah, yeah. And the problem inevitably with a cold is, yeah, you're stuffy and everything. And then at some point, your body's like, no, we shouldn't be stuffy anymore.
00:37:01
Chris
We should let this come out.
00:37:02
subartic
Yeah.
00:37:03
Chris
And it just is the river flow from your nose.
00:37:07
subartic
Yeah.
00:37:08
Chris
Yeah. You wake up and it's like Slimer attacked you. Ah, God.
00:37:19
subartic
Yeah. That's no God, no.
00:37:20
Chris
Now, do you use the like neti pot? thing.
00:37:25
Chris
I've tried that.
00:37:25
subartic
That's just my wife uses it and I'm like, you know, you get brain bugs from that.
00:37:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:32
Chris
Yeah, that's why you have to boil the water.
00:37:34
subartic
Yeah. It's boiling hot water and you knew it sounds great.
00:37:37
Chris
you'd Wait for it to cool down. Yeah, I tried the last time I tried it, I had one of the ones that was like a squeeze bottle instead of the pot.
00:37:47
subartic
That seems like a real place you don't want it.
00:37:47
Chris
And I squeeze that way too hard. And yeah, I'm pretty sure I ended up with water in my brain.
00:37:56
Chris
Yeah, it was, it did not feel good at all. So.
00:38:01
subartic
The whole thing doesn't sound good to me.
00:38:03
Chris
Yeah. Oh yeah. Cause you got to do that. We're breathing while you're doing it. And yeah.
00:38:08
subartic
I'll just suffer for four days and move on with my life.
00:38:08
Chris
ah Yeah. I mean, you know, extra vitamin C usually helps.
00:38:15
subartic
Do you think that's true?
00:38:19
Chris
No, but no.
00:38:20
subartic
Yeah, I don't think it's true there.
00:38:24
subartic
Because your body can only absorb so much vitamin C a day. It just pisses out the rest, right?
00:38:26
Chris
Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Vitamin C and zinc. I mean, or you you know if you're taking a bunch of supplements for that, you're paying for expensive P.
00:38:36
subartic
Mm-hmm.
00:38:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:42
subartic
Now I, uh, well, I used to a nice whiskey neat for the sore throat works great, but again, that's because the alcohol numbs the pain.
00:38:48
Chris
yeah Yep. Yeah. Yes.
00:38:54
subartic
Let you sleep though.
00:38:56
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:38:57
subartic
Yeah.
00:38:58
Chris
that's What is it in Nyquil that makes you so sleepy?
00:39:02
subartic
I think it used to be alcohol.
00:39:04
Chris
Really?
00:39:04
subartic
I think so.
00:39:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:06
subartic
I think it just straight up used to be booze.
00:39:08
Chris
God.
00:39:12
Chris
Well, it definitely tastes like Jaeger.
00:39:15
subartic
Oh, well, I can't.
00:39:17
Chris
Yeah, I mean, who ever thought, here, you're not feeling well, let's make you drink licorice.
00:39:23
subartic
People that had hated us.
00:39:25
Chris
Yeah. And then they're like, oh, no, we have cherry flavor. Nowhere on this earth does a cherry taste like that.
00:39:33
subartic
Made you sleepy. and high cool Oh, wow, I kept up.
00:39:40
Chris
It's probably like the decongestant or something.
00:39:41
subartic
oh Doxylamine, Sussanate, can cause drowsiness and sleepiness, but I don't think that's what it originally was.
00:39:45
Chris
OK.
00:39:49
Chris
Now.
00:39:52
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, Nyquil had to have booze in it.
00:39:55
subartic
Yeah.
00:40:00
subartic
Well, if I might call nighttime on eBay.
00:40:04
Chris
Nice.
00:40:07
subartic
Sure.
00:40:13
Chris
Yeah, liquid form of Nyquil contains 10% alcohol.
00:40:17
subartic
Oh, there you go.
00:40:19
Chris
But it's not an active ingredient and is not intended to relieve cold and flu symptoms. It's similar to a glass of white wine.
00:40:26
subartic
What?
00:40:32
Chris
The liquid caps are alcohol free.
00:40:38
Chris
Yeah. Wow. Hmm.
00:40:41
subartic
Even to this day.
00:40:42
Chris
That's what it says. Yeah. Yeah. My quilt cold and flu nighttime relief contains 10% alcohol.
00:40:51
subartic
hu
00:40:51
Chris
It's to keep the active ingredients dissolved in the mixture.
00:40:58
subartic
Well, I think I can tell you why you feel sleepy afterwards.
00:41:01
Chris
Yep. Hmm.
00:41:08
subartic
Huh.
00:41:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:13
Chris
Nyquil is technically 20 proof.
00:41:13
subartic
Fun.
00:41:19
Chris
ah
00:41:22
subartic
Heh. Don't drink nightclock, kids.
00:41:25
Chris
Yeah, God.
00:41:28
Chris
Well, you'd have to drink a lot.
00:41:31
Chris
You'd have to drink that whole bottle.
00:41:33
subartic
Well don't challenge them.
00:41:35
Chris
No, but that just sounds gross.
00:41:38
subartic
Those sound gross.
00:41:40
Chris
Yeah, I mean.
00:41:45
subartic
Yeah. Gross.
00:41:48
Chris
Yeah, I think the rest push fluids whiskey. Yeah, and the whole starve, yeah, feed a fever, starve a cold. Now you've got to give your body energy to burn off whatever's in it.
00:42:00
subartic
Mmhmm.
00:42:04
Chris
Starving, it's not going to help.
00:42:11
subartic
Yeah, you have to feed. That's the worst part when I'm sick is trying to keep my macros up. It's like, Oh, I don't want to eat.
00:42:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:17
subartic
Just want to have soup.
00:42:20
Chris
Yeah. Well, make some Italian penicillin soup.
00:42:23
subartic
Oh, they're just penicillin. So I
00:42:25
Chris
So am I, but <unk> there's not actual penicillin in the soup. Or just and rub your chest with your roasted onions.
00:42:34
subartic
might, I might try that. Probably do it at work tomorrow.
00:42:36
Chris
Oh, yes, yes.
00:42:40
subartic
That's bridges that put him on me.
00:42:42
Chris
Which so I just thought we had the a meeting this morning at station two and he was working overtime. I walk into station two. There's one of those electric radiators plugged in and he has his chair next to it and is leaning on it.
00:42:57
subartic
Oh, he better not.
00:42:58
Chris
so Oh gosh, I hope you take that to Montgomery County with you.
00:43:05
subartic
Well, you have to look, you know, somewhat professional.
00:43:09
Chris
He's a cold natured man.
00:43:11
subartic
He's something.
00:43:12
Chris
Yeah.

I don't like anything with beans in it.
00:45:41
subartic
I'm okay with the beans, but like if like I Don't like the burritos you get at most Mexican places because they're just covered in cheese and sauce and it just tastes like cheese and sauce Yeah, so but they have the this place I have by call it's called Padilla It's like a Mexican meat platter.
00:45:43
Chris
I know.
00:45:52
Chris
Well, it's because they're trying to appease, you know, non-Americans.
00:46:02
Chris
OK.
00:46:04
subartic
Oh, that's good stuff.
00:46:06

Chris

I don't know. I guess it's a texture thing. I'm not a big avocado person. I don't know. Now, I will say my sister-in-law made guacamole from scratch one time, and that was that was all right.
00:46:31
subartic
Yeah, when they make good guacamole versus the crap guacamole, it's a whole different world.
00:46:36
Chris
Yeah, let's go.
00:46:38
subartic
Hmm.
00:46:38
Chris
It's lovely if you go to Chipotle or something and you look at the guacamole and they take that first scoop out and it's like brown.
00:46:43
subartic
There they go, they're getting the brown off.
00:46:45
Chris
It's like, oh, God. Yeah.
00:46:47
subartic
Yeah.
00:46:52
Chris
Yeah, I mean, typically, if we go out to get Mexican, I usually get like taquitos or something like that. I mean, that's just, you know. Beef and cheese and stuff rolled up and fried.
00:47:07
Chris
But yeah, I can't really do the, I i can't do refried beans. I don't, it looks like baby vomit.
